Private email infrastructure & deliverability engineering
Industry

SMTP Resellers

Wholesalers, MSPs and hosting companies that resell email services to their own customer base. Northbound provides the underlying infrastructure, IP inventory and deliverability engineering.

Challenges

  • Reseller economics require infrastructure that is not marked up per message
  • Customer profile heterogeneity — some customers are good, some are not
  • Support escalation across two layers (reseller ↔ Northbound ↔ end customer)

Our approach

  • Flat monthly infrastructure retainer, no per-message billing
  • Reseller AUP and enforcement toolkit provided
  • Escalation runbook so end-customer issues route cleanly

Deliverability recommendations

  1. Adopt and enforce a strict AUP with your customers from day one
  2. Tier your customers and separate IP pools accordingly

Example engagements

  • APAC hosting reseller: onboarded 40 SMB customers onto a dedicated /24 pool with per-tier isolation; reseller margins stable and reputation issues contained.

Examples are anonymised. Named references available under mutual NDA.

Questions

Can we white-label?
Yes. WHOIS, PTR, nameservers and support attribution can all reflect the reseller brand.
